Guys, I don't think E is right though. The phrase In order to protect the public should modify qualified physician but it seems to modify by law

I think C is the lesser of all the evils.

Resident experts, please comment.

After POE only E and C stand. I think E is the best answer over C because it keeps the original emphasis that is "to protect the public" rather than a subordinary unnecessary clause introduced by which.
I mean the purpose of the LAW is to protect the public and E clearly state that.
Overall I think the hard part is to catch whether a clause should be a principal or a subordinary one in the context of the sentence.
